Smoothies are an absolute staple in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and there are a lot of different recipes to choose from. Each recipe can provide unique perks, and it can be hard to tell which are the best.
Which Smoothie you should make depends on what you’re hoping to get out of using it, or the situations you’re likely to encounter afterwards. The best Smoothies for battle are not going to do you much good if you’re hoping to survive the chill of Hebra Mountain, for instance, while swimming around Zora Cove can be aided by using a Smoothie that increases your swimming speed.
As such, it’s hard to crown any Smoothie as “the best”, but we can break it down to the best recipes for each purpose.
The best Smoothies for energy recovery and healing
One thing that you always need to keep an eye on is your Swordfighter Form energy bar. If you’re not inside a Rift, and therefore have limited access to free refills, then you’ll need to make some Smoothies to fill up the bar.
One perk of these Smoothie recipes is that they also double up as the best for healing as well, so you can restore your hearts at the same time. The best (and easiest) Smoothies to make for this are:
Smoothie | Recipe | Effects |
Salted Milky Smoothie | Rock Salt + Fresh Milk | Restores 15 hearts Fully restores energy |
Milky Sweet Smoothie | Floral Nectar + Fresh Milk | Restores 15 hearts Fully restores energy |
You can also make Smoothies using Tough Mango, but this ingredient is only gained by completing stages of Mango Rush at The Oasis in Gerudo Desert. The ingredients used in the two Smoothies listed above are much easier to come by, especially early on, so they’re a better option to make.
The best Smoothies for combat
Rather than use any Tough Mangos you’re able to get your hands on for energy recovery or health restoration, you should instead funnel them into Smoothies that reward the Damage Reduction effect. The best recipes for this purpose are:
Smoothie | Recipe | Effects |
Tough Smoothie | Tough Mango + Tough Mango | Restores 7 hearts Damage reduction for 1 minute |
Sweet Tough Smoothie | Tough Mango + Floral Nectar | Restores 15 hearts Damage reduction for 3 minutes |
You can also combine a Tough Smoothie with some Monster Guts to make a Tough Potion, which has the same effects as a Sweet Tough Smoothie.
The best Smoothies for each location
As you explore Hyrule, you’ll enter different biomes which require specific protection. Learning which Smoothies can help in each location can make your life a lot easier, and help you survive the wilds of Hyrule.
Jabul Waters
Jabul Waters, which includes the Zora River and Zora Cove is filled with water that needs to be navigated. While there are accessories that can make this easier, such as the Zora Scale that increases swimming speed, you can also give yourself a boost using the following Smoothies:
Smoothie | Recipe | Effects |
Mixed Bubble Smoothie | Bubble Kelp + Refreshing Grapes Bubble Kelp + Electro Apple | Restores 5 hearts Dive time increased for 1 minute |
Rapid Smoothie | Riverhorse + Bubble Kelp Riverhorse + Riverhorse | Restores 5 hearts Swim speed increased for 1 minute |
Hebra Mountain
You’ll need to turn up the heat if you want to survive the cold of Hebra Mountain, especially the first time you venture there. To do this, you can cook up some Smoothies containing Warm Peppers. The best options are:
Smoothie | Recipe | Effects |
Warm Mixed Special | Warm Pepper + Refreshing Grapes Warm Pepper + Electro Apple | Recovers full energy Chill–Proof for 1 minute |
Golden Piping-Hot Smoothie | Warm Pepper + Golden Egg | Restores 20 hearts Ice-Proof for 5 minutes |
It’s worth noting that Smoothies that make you Chill-Proof are useful when you’re making your way through the cold winds of the mountain. Ice-Proof, on the other hand, will help if you fall into the water or enter into combat with an ice type enemy.
You can also make Warming or Piping-Hot Potions by combining Warm Pepper with Monster Fang and Monster Guts respectively. Warming Potion will render you Chill-Proof for 5 minutes, while Piping-Hot Potion will make you Ice-Proof for 5 minutes.
Eldin Volcano
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Eldin Volcano will pit you against enemies who throw fire and have you exploring a little too close to lava. In order to counter this, you can mix up some Smoothies that will leave you Fire-Proof when consumed.
The best recipes for this are:
Smoothie | Recipe | Effects |
Salted Cactus Smoothie | Chilly Cactus + Rock Salt | Recovers two thirds of energy Fire-Proof for 3 minutes |
Golden Chilly Smoothie | Chilly Cactus + Golden Egg | Restores 20 hearts Fire-Proof for 5 minutes |
You can also make a Chilly Potion using Chilly Cactus and Monster Guts. This doesn’t come with any additional healing ability, but it will make you Fire-Proof for five minutes, and you’re more likely to have Monster Guts than an abundance of Golden Eggs.
Faron Wetlands
Last, but definitely not least, you’ll need to make yourself immune to lightning if you want an easy life in the Faron Wetlands. Thankfully, there are a few good options for Smoothies that will provide you with this immunity:
Smoothie | Recipe | Effects |
Mixed Apple Smoothie | Electro Apple + Floral Nectar | Restores 5 hearts Lightning-Proof for 3 minutes |
Salted Apple Smoothie | Electro Apple + Rock Salt | Recovers full energy Lightning-Proof for 1 minute |
You can also make an Electro Potion by combining Electro Apple and Monster Guts, which will render you immune to lightning for five minutes.
Best niche Smoothies in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
Occasionally, you’ll need to give yourself a boost for something really specific. If you need to increase your skills for a while, here are the best Smoothies you can make and what they help with:
Smoothie | Good for | Recipe | Effects |
Sweet Climbing Smoothie | Wall-climbing | Rocktato + Floral Nectar | Restores 5 hearts Wall-climbing speed increased for 3 minutes |
Milky Radiant Smoothie | Dark caves | Radiant Butter + Fresh Milk | Restores 10 hearts Glow for 1 minute |
Mango Twisty Smoothie | Automaton winding | Twisted Pumpkin + Tough Mango | Restores 15 hearts Winding speed increased for 4 minutes |
